Intuitive Ventures is seeking a driven and intellectually curious investment professional to join our team at the Investment Manager or Senior Investment Manager level.

  • Maintain and update the deal pipeline database; conduct initial outreach to founders and screen inbound deals against fund criteria
  • Lead initial founder meetings and make prioritization recommendations
  • Proactively develop co-investor and ecosystem partner relationships

Portfolio Management
  • Serve as day-to-day point of contact for assigned portfolio companies; track key milestones and flag material risks to the senior team
  • Coordinate introductions between portfolio companies and internal business units and external networks
  • Support founders on introductions, recruiting, business development, and resource access
  • Escalate risks proactively and track performance against board-approved milestones

Strategic Landscape & Thesis Development
  • Develop sector overviews, competitive landscape maps, and market intelligence across assigned focus areas
  • Present landscape findings to the broader investment team on a regular cadence
  • Produce detailed landscape analyses that inform new investments and portfolio strategy

Conferences, Competitive Intelligence & Reporting
  • Attend relevant industry conferences; build foundational network and identify emerging companies
  • Maintain competitive intelligence trackers across assigned verticals
  • Lead quarterly reporting for assigned portfolio companies including KPI analysis and commentary
  • Represent the fund at conferences; own CI tracking and contribute to fund-level reporting
